Managing Associated Domains in Asana

This guide explains how associated domains work in Asana, enabling companies with multiple brands or email domains to give employees access under a single Enterprise organization. It ensures users across all your brands can use Asana while remaining under your organization’s control.

What Are Associated Domains?

  • An associated domain is any email domain that your organization controls and wants to include in a single Asana Enterprise instance.

  • Example: If your company owns @BrandNameOne.com, @BrandNameTwo.com, and @BrandNameThree.com, all of these domains can be associated with your Asana organization.

  • Users with emails on any of the associated domains can request to join your Enterprise organization and be managed under its security and admin settings.


Enabling Associated Domains

  1. Access the Admin Console

    • You must be a Super Admin to manage domains.

    • Navigate to Admin Console → Security → Domains.

  2. Add a New Domain

    • Click Add Domain and enter the email domain you want to associate.

    • Asana will require verification to prove ownership (DNS TXT record or email verification).

  3. Verify Domain Ownership

    • Follow the prompts to confirm you control the domain.

    • Once verified, users with emails on that domain can join your organization.

  4. Set Access Rules for Each Domain

    • Decide if all users from a domain are automatically allowed to join.

    • You can enforce approval for new users to ensure only active employees have access.


Use Case Example

Scenario:

  • Enterprise: BrandNameUmbrella

  • Brands: BrandNameOne, BrandNameTwo, BrandNameThree

  • Total Users: ~125 across all brands

Solution:

  • Associate the three email domains with the single Enterprise instance.

  • Employees from all brands will log in to the same Asana organization.

  • Admins can manage teams, licenses, and permissions across all brands from one organization.

  • This ensures everyone can collaborate in Asana without purchasing separate Enterprise plans for each brand.


Key Notes

  • Adding a domain does not automatically create new licenses; users still need to be assigned seats.

  • Super Admins control which teams users can join and what permissions they have.

  • Multiple divisions or teams can be configured within the organization to separate work by brand, region, or function.
